Unfinished Board issues

This page catalogs unfinished board business.

For each issue we need filter each issue through this criteria:

Issues

Issues should live in one of the two sections below:

What is the target audience for the Fedora Distribution? (Paul)
- (reference Paul's response) http://lwn.net/Articles/358865/
- TODO: this decision needs a stand-alone wiki page for ready reference--we shouldn't be referring to mail archives for things like this
What is the Board's role?
- Set a defining vision for the Project and enable other groups to work toward it, without excluding those who want to do other things
Is there a default spin?
- Yes, it is the "Desktop Spin"

Does letting thousands of contributors do what they want have a negative impact on our OS? (mike)
How is the Fedora distribution defined? Is it a universe of packages, a specific spin, or is it something else? (Chris)
SIGs Spins, and Remixes (mdomsch, walters)
- Can SIGs / Spins define their own target audience?
- Can SIGs / Spins change the distribution sufficiently within the scope of what we permit by today's guidelines to effectively reach that target audience?
- Can SIGs create remixes, or only spins?
- Do SIGs need to create spins to effectively grow communities of contribution?
If the "Desktop Spin" is the default offering, does this mean the Desktop team defines the user experience for all of Fedora? (Paul)
- what if some SIG disagrees?
Is it possible for there to be a different default offering for Fedora? Why or why not? (Paul)
What is a target audience? Is it a concrete persona? Is it an abstract paragraph or two on a wiki? (John/Chris)

Personas as part of the "Target Audience" discussion (John)
Website redesign (main page) (mike)
~~Website redesign (spins pages)~~
Resolve Desktop/Whiteboards/UpdateExperience into actionable proposals (walters)
